Mwang'onda highlighted the significant work done by President Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan in improving water services across the country, stating that the government has spent a lot to provide water services to citizens, so it is our responsibility to protect and maintain the water infrastructure. He also expressed satisfaction with the implementation of this water project and encouraged citizens to continue promoting peace and stability.

Sikonge is one of the earliest towns in Tabora to benefit from the Lake Victoria. Completing this project will enable the residents of Sikonge to get an increased water supply of 720 cubic meters from the Utyatya dam.
